The top meeting you can't miss

"New retail" means an opportunity for you to develop your business in Slovakia. Whether you sell in brick and mortar stores or online, it is important to recognize new trends as well as establish new collaborations and contacts. That's why the New Retail Summit from Blue Events has been here since 2020.

Why attend the New Retail Summit?

Since 2020, it has been the largest retail conference in Slovakia. A total of 92% of respondents of the last event survey said they wanted to participate also next year. The New Retail Summit is co-organized by key market players: Slovak Alliance of Modern Trade, Slovak Trade Association, Slovak Association for Branded Products, Mastercard and many others.

I want to be:

New Retail Summit is the event we have been awaiting for a long time in Slovakia. At this forum we are able to bring quality analyses, market news and presentations of best practices throughout the whole supply chain. It is a very effective concept that brings together not only a lot of information in one place, but also creates a unique space for networking.

The New Retail Summit is a professional event that is popularly attended by representatives of our retail network COOP Jednota from all regions every year. It is an opportunity for us to enrich ourselves with new information, familiarize ourselves with new trends and get inspired in order not to slow down in progress, but on the contrary, to advance.
